Maximum in Zagreb This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Zagreb. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Zagreb because the Moon is below the horizon at that time.

How to use altitude & direction to find in the sky

The curvature of the shadow's path and the apparent rotation of the Moon's disk is due to the Earth's rotation.

The total phase of this lunar eclipse was not visible in Zagreb, but it could be observed there as a partial lunar eclipse. The Earth's shadow covered only a small portion of the Moon.

Cloud Coverage (Dec 21)

In the past, this day was cloudy 76% of the time (since 2000).
